They said last year 37 people were admitted off the waitlist, however, that information is useless unless you know how many people are on the waitlist. Got the email today, and hopped on lsd; don't know whether I should feel glad or anxious that I'm lumped into this group. The above posters seemed to have great numbers - a lot better than mine. I would guess that some might be taking Harvard over Michigan thus opening up some slots.

They have a pretty big waitlist... I think they invite at least 500 to join.

For those of you who know you're going elsewhere or don't want to hold out for Michigan... PLEASE SEND BACK THE WAITLIST FORM SAYING YOU ARE DECLINING THEIR OFFER. This will help them sort out their WL sooner and expedite decisions for those of us holding out till the bitter end.
